How to Make It

Step 1

Heat the lentils and water in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Drain the lentils well in a colander and reserve 1 cup cooking water.

Step 2

Heat the oil in the saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, chiles, mustard, cumin, salt, coriander and turmeric and cook and stir until the onions are lightly browned.

Step 3

Stir the sauce and reserved cooking water in the saucepot. Return the lentils to the saucepot. Cook and stir for 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Serve with paratha or naan for dipping.
